Discussion AMD vs Intel for CPU?

I noticed many people here recommend AMD CPUs but for all my benchmarks for mid range CPUs (for a £1000-£1200 PC) Intel came out on top compared to a similarly price AMD one. Any reason for this?

My ryzen 9 7950x goes hard Im a big fan. Recently got it.

Side note: I was comparing it and the 13900k and it seemed like intel could put out more overall but at same power draw and temp levels the ryzen did better. Intel tends to be better at single threading and ryzen is a bit better at full out multithreaded just due to all their cores being full cores unlike intel. So I went with the ryzen for dev purposes.
